A serious treatment might have been more informative, but probably not as entertaining.

positive

As true story-based, blue collar heroes vs. sniveling bureaucrats stories go, one of the better ones. (Splice Today)

positive

A fairly unremarkable crime caper that boasts production value and an impressive cast but is hampered by a sub-par script.

negative

Traffics a kind of superficial gender essentialism that makes its themes feel more didactic than incisive, a reduction of thorny ideas to their most simplistic iterations.

negative

We may not have gotten the John Wick sequel we wanted, but it's entirely possible it's the one we need for now.

positive

Laced with comic romantic touches.

positive

Extremely funny, well written and sharply observed comedy with strong comic performances from its talented cast.

positive

None of the characters is emotionally complex, or very smart, or motivated by reasons more complex than the movie's paint-by-numbers screenplay.

negative

Single dad's struggles are poignant, somewhat mature.

positive

The movie ends with the door wide open for a sequel; one can't imagine anyone involved jumping at the thought.

negative

Porn Star runs out of insight and surprises long before the closing credits roll.

negative

Often gets bogged down in cliches, but Henson is just so good, and Najafi's direction so solid, that the film resonates in spite of its occasionally wooden dialogue.

positive

First Snow is solidly made -- which, for this sort of film, is nothing to sneeze at -- but it doesn't leave that strong an impression either. It's a decent freshman effort.

positive

...captures what it must be like to have your life suddenly turned around into total chaos, the hopelessness, the helplessness, and the despair that descends when thrown into a dungeon where people all around you are being executed on a daily basis.

positive

The screenplay, adapted by both Kidd and Schulman, apparently leaves out much of the book's biting black humour.

negative

Representa mais um esforço acima da média deste cineasta que, mesmo aos 74 anos, não dá sinais de pretender diminuir seu ritmo de produção.

positive

The funny thing is that this sounds more interesting than it is.

negative

[Hugh Jackman's] a consummate professional, and that job often includes grinning through material that's beneath him and a little bit embarrassing. Director Michael Gracey's biopic of circus impresario P.T. Barnum is both of those things.

negative

It's fascinating, absorbing and ultimately amazingly feel good.

positive

Enough macabre interests to maintain an absorbing sit, but to reach a point of actual momentum, one must accept O'Malley's overly cautious handling of the feature's fright factor.

positive

Itâ(TM)s designed to be crowd-pleasing and tug on hearts across the board, but thereâ(TM)s a manipulative quality that will put a ceiling on business.

negative

Woman in Gold is a David-and-Goliath story.

positive

"Mank" is exactly the type of film its troubled subject would have loved to make: a deep dive that basks in an era riddled with corruption, wastes no time exposing those who were complacent, and still finds moments to appreciate motion pictures.

positive

The plot is "ice" thin and Ice Cube can't hold a candle to Van Diesel in my opinion. If you like a lot of car explosions and action packed scenes you will like this movie.

negative

More contrived than clever, "Stage Fright" wants to be the musical version of "Scream." It isn't.

negative

The film realises Raftopoulos's desire to deliver a film that looks as if it's been distilled from reality but in this instance, naturalism isn't enough. The judicious injection of a sense of heightened drama could have made all the difference.

negative

Mediocre A&C packed with corn and laughs.

positive

A sharply acted and highly entertaining morality play.

positive

[The movie] has more integrity than its creepshow peers. The story basically comes down to a dead-looking woman who doesn't want to be a mother fighting for parental custody against a long-dead woman who does. (Grad students, start your theses.)

positive

This picture is 115 minutes of nearly wall-to-wall actor impressions, and that does get to be too much of a good thing, unfortunately.

negative

Starting at infantile and regressing hysterically from there, Step Brothers flies on the comic chemistry of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.

positive

We are blessed with both the craft and the documentation of sublime empathy that Ali brings to the film

positive

Maybe you see where all this is going. But even if you do, getting there is still good, queasy fun.

positive

Despite a tacked-on framing device that mostly falls flat, Kevin Hart: What Now? proves to be a laugh riot thanks to the comedian's high-energy delivery and the broad spectrum of relatable topics he integrates into his set.

positive

The unique tug-of-war with viewer expectations is undeniable, if not a pleasure in its own right.

positive

The audience has been delighted to spend some time with a couple of remarkable young ladies.

positive

This version lacks the occasional brilliant flashes of the first.

negative

The film is no classic, certainly, but it's not one of those throwaway puff pieces, either.

positive

After enduring a lot of jokes about May-December romances, Douglas comes bouncing back with one of his best performances.

positive

Carey's celebratory approach to bawdy one-liners marries form with content.

positive

'The only truly interesting aspect found in "The Core" is Jon Amiel's thoughts as to what the inner parts of Earth might look like.'

negative

Even at its most unbelievable, The Siege has the performances of Washington and Bening to fall back on, and a theme that understands that what's difficult is not choosing right from wrong but 'choosing the wrong that's more right.'

positive

Avoids many of the tragic biopic pitfalls.

positive

Attack of the Clones is the best Star Wars installment since The Empire Strikes Back, hurtling along so quickly that you hardly notice the many moments when the story fails to make sense -- even on its own fantastical terms.

positive

Great comedic pairing. Good fun.

positive

Effectively fashioned, as jolting as it is polished, as well as a surprising, insistently political work of commercial art.

positive

Relish has a talented young cast, but Ward doesn't know how to use them. A laughably bad script tanks the entire experience.

negative

A soft-sell Nazi-era propaganda film that was used as a vehicle for its Swedish born redheaded star Zarah Leander.

negative

Calvary, however, offers no redemption or even catharsis - at best, some talk of forgiveness - and McDonagh's crude drollery, if that's the word for it, feels forced, fake, as though anger is acceptable if delivered with a punch line.

negative

Yet the images, and the actions within them, lack the acerbic edge that would really drive the knife in. Much like Brause himself, the film tends toward the handsome, yet hollow.

negative

Miller provides arresting visuals and attention to editorial detail, but he can’t shake the coldness of the material, which doesn’t reach the level of profundity the production is aiming to achieve.

negative

Altman's film strikes an English observer as the purest, possibly the simplest Americana, the kind of thing which it takes an American to know about, which nobody else can understand so well.

positive

Gina Prince-Bythewood’s action flick stars a number of young actresses joining the ranks of Agojie, but Mbedu really kills it with plenty of stunts and an emotional tale of mothers and daughters.

positive

... a technically impressive but altogether listless revenge tale ...

negative

Not completely successful, but enjoyable enough

positive

A chamber piece cousin to The Ice Storm, The Playroom hones in on the mentality of so many irresponsible '70s era parents whose children grew up to be much better people than their parents.

positive

...only Isaac and Kroll get the spirit of their characters right. Worse, the very core of Addams Family magic - the highly charged eroticism of the Gomez and Morticia marriage combined with their offbeat parenting skills - is nowhere to be found.

negative

... Stiller composes an egocentric protagonist to ridicule, whose extreme sensitivity could also be his last chance. [Full review in Spanish]

positive

Bracingly chilly!

positive

The cast (and the costumes) are worth the price of admission.

positive

Audiences will have to be content with the admittedly lovely Provence landscape and Ridley Scott's slick, superficial direction. Those searching for anything more will be sorely disappointed.

negative

Big, glossy, entertaining if not exactly compelling.

positive

...relies as much on the evocation of mood as it does on things that go bump in the night.

positive

It doesn't do a lot of deep thinking, but unlike many futuristic combos of sf and f/x, it does make a statement: Freedom of opinion is a threat to totalitarian systems.

positive

The animated shorts category is much stronger, with the two best coming at the art of 'toons from opposite quarters, aesthetic and commercial.

positive

Salutes the vision that sees invisible things, cares for others, and refuses to abandon hope.

positive

The reputed world's most hated band is fighting the good fight.

positive

Its' surreal and funny and at the exact same moments, sickening, verging on horror.

positive

Sometimes, in spite of its blemishes, a film can make an impression. Heilstätten does this in the way it frames the whole piece, as well as presents the meta commentary within it.

positive

A fanciful and enganging metaphysical mystery about a writer, two beauties, love and the challenges of the creative process.

positive

Vigalondo may have made the most soulful film about gigantic, metropolis-smashing monsters yet.

positive

A warm, winning, restless film...Beautiful, modestly progressive and heartfelt, with a wonderful, brash central performance from first-timer Waad Mohammed.

positive

I had no problem latching onto the two lead characters, believing their feelings of loss, and rooting for their inevitable reconciliation.

positive

I enjoyed it more than Spirited Away, because it's more straight-forward. This one is weird, but it's also grounded to human emotions.

positive

Even when he threatens to fall into an abyss of navel-gazing, Antonioni never fails to offer up striking images.

positive

The best movie about who gangsters are, and how they came to exert such a magnetic pull on American culture.

positive

"The Lost City" isnt a big movie, even with its big stars. Its out to provide audiences with an undemanding good time. Its a modest goal, but its one the movie reaches.

positive

Rushdie's script is faithful to his source novel to a fault. The lesson is that writers revisiting their work for another medium sometimes can't see the story for the words...

negative

This wonderfully dark story offers a mix of solid laughs and great scares and really brings this Stephen King novel to life.

positive

Faster and, if possible, furiouser than its predecessors.

positive

Simply delightful in just how stranger than fiction it manages to be.

positive

The locations and cinematography are wow-inducing.

positive

In a world full of remakes, reboots and sequels a truly original film has become like the sasquatch of cinema, a mythical creature long thought to be lost forever. Finding Everything Everywhere All at Once feels just like that - mythical and just magical.

positive

It's all very charming, often amusing, and there is hardly a dull moment.

positive

It's a delightfully bloody trip to a grimy, but melodic, Victorian London.

positive

Epic in length only and peppered with sniggering homophobia, the homage to Himself drags on for three hours going on three years.

negative

The Batman is a journey through the seedy underbelly of Gotham filled with epic action, unmatched cast chemistry, and maniacal villains. Everything that DC fans have wanted, and more.

positive

The real stars of the sequel are the dinosaurs...But look out for the flying Pteranodons, which we see flying off into the sunset as a precursor to yet another unnecessary sequel.

negative

Streep and Springfield make a surprisingly sweet pair of retirement-age rockers, but the scattered story line keeps losing the beat.

negative

Wakefield's trenchant coming-of-age tale uses a classic pairing of utterly contrasting types to ground his exploration of innocence and experience, of complacency and the thirst for adventure...

positive

The best way to describe the whole ordeal is cheap.

negative

Despite all the good is posits, The Boss Baby can never escape looking like a fake movie inside a real one - and altogether feeling like a redundancy.

negative

With an arch wink and a nod, THE ASSIGNMENT dissects society's norms via its less reputable elements as cleanly and mercilessly as Jane removed Frankie's manhood.

positive

The sincerity with which the clichs get served up, and so on, make a relatively smooth viewing experience. But they also render what would have been an at times harrowing real-life story into something safe and bland.

negative

Director Chris Robinson moves his camera aimlessly, cutting in and out of speeches as if he were just as bored as I.

negative

Reminds me of my favorite bumper sticker: 'If I knew grandchildren were so much fun, I'd have had them first.'

positive

If you're sick of Hollywood teen movies that can't see past the end of their next tube of lip gloss, this Aussie alternative is well worth checking out.

positive

This film reaches deep, asking questions about what's important, what real problems look like and what we are capable of.

positive

Rapidly burnt by a volcanically ludicrous story, Pompeii rumbles and crumbles, over-baking itself into a frothy crisp--puffery on the outside and clichéd passions within.

negative

Martin plays Clouseau as a cartoon. We always are aware of the distance between the actor and the character, whereas with Sellers, Clouseau was a part of him.

negative
